Most of what we know we were told it, and the rest of our knowledge came from our senses, mainly our eyes and our ears. There are very few people on the planet that know anything aprori, that is, a transcendental knowledge. Obviously you read about an "Ultimate Reality" in a book, or you were told it by Zen Master Rama. Not from an "un-reality" would you have learned this term! So, what did your guru, Zen Master Rama, say about the Ultimate Reality? If you forgot what Rama said, I'll post it here. LoL!
